Description
Property of Private Estate Daufuskie Island, SC
Jimmie Lee Sudduth (Alabama, 1910-2007), Portrait of Man in Blue Overalls, Paint on Board, signed upper left. Frame size: 49 in. x 25 in.
'Sudduth spent most of his life working on rural farms and grinding corn meal in the Fayette County area. Around 1950 Sudduth moved to the town of Fayette and was an active handyman and gardener for many of the townspeople. He was always eager to make someone a painting and to share a tune on his harmonica so he quickly became a local celebrity. In 1972, the first public exhibition of his work was organized by Jack Black, Sudduth's life-long friend at the Fayette Art Museum. Sudduth was selected as one of two artists to represent Alabama and traveled to the Smithsonian Institution for the Bicentennial Festival of American Folk life in 1976.' (AskArt.com)
